Congrats @BeyondtheRainbow on your biopsy!

I took the plunge and went to a cannabis store (it's legal here in Canada). I spoke with the staff there and told them my major problem is anxiety and they suggested that I try a couple of CBD oils (they don't contain THC).

I took the oil last night and it started to work within an hour. It just calmed things down and caused me to relax a little more. The effect lasted throughout the night but I woke up several times from really odd dreams.

I took it again this morning and am feeling some relief from the anxiety. The guy at the store said he takes the same oils 5 times a day.

I'll see how it goes. The oils are expensive - $90 for about a week supply, but if they help it'll be worth it even if I don't take it every day.

They said at the store that they have more potent oils depending on how I do with these.
